Abstract
Bacteria can partition in aqueous environments between surface-dwelling, planktonic, sedimentary, and biofilm forms. Residence in each location provides an advantage depending on nutritional and environmental stresses, and a community of a single species is often observed to be distributed throughout two or more of these niches.
